Customizing the File|New dialog (Word 2000/SR1)

Attached is a screen shot of Word's File|New on my PC and you will notice a tab labeled "2003 ELGR" with various templates in it. This tab represents custom templates we have created related to a particular product line we created and we have other product lines whose name would be very long such as for example "2003 InterActiveProductNameLibrary". Such a folder would produce a tab where you could not see the entire name.

What we want to know is if we can, via a COM addin or regular addin, custom control how the File|New dialog appears as well as add additional functionality to it. For example add a mouse over the tabs to show the full name, etc.
